Citi the next to downgrade their outlook on US stocks

Contest ranking algorithm and rankings are now updated. Only winning trades that break the rules are excluded, losers are now included to neutralize the potential exploits.

you people are cheats, you know your winners already, i see excluded lossing trades for contestant in number one, i also see multiple positions and lot size others can't pick, total waste of time

I think the easiest to implement and comprehend is to only exclude winning trades wherever there are exclusions, while all losers still count. For this contest we will manually ensure any strategy that would not work in real life is disqualified if they are winners (but not while the contest is still running), as that is what the rules state.

Look, there are many strange accounts that can open a large number of sell transactions at the same time without getting stopped out. If these accounts pass the verification and manage to win the contest, I'll be speechless. With a leverage of 33:1, this is not possible, unless there is an ICT system error that allows some accounts to have greater leverage.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have an idea. What do you think would happen if a point were added to the contest conditions about disqualifying traders who trade with disallowed instruments?

As you look at top traders, you will notice that they all have over 15 excluded trades, they hedge and hold trades using excluded trades, hoping winning trades will be counted and losing trades excluded. If they were trading a normal demo account or even a live account, they wouldn't have been able to gain that much. Trading activities like this cannot be used in a real-world scenario, which is against contest rules. The excluded trade rule makes them gain so much; if you remove it, they won't be as high.

I checked the trading history of the current leader through ChatGPT. This is what it said: "One trade of 0.45 lots requires more than $1363, and the trader's balance is $1000. Such a position can't be opened without a margin call. Since one trade of 0.45 lots exceeds the balance, it's impossible to open several of these trades – a lot more capital would be needed. The trader used hedging elements, but not in the classic way (not symmetrically). Opening several positions of 0.45 lots with a balance of $1000 and leverage of 33:1 is impossible, as the margin for one such position exceeds the balance. The trader might have used a demo account, another type of leverage, or a system error.

they are making returns as big as in the 100:1 leverage forex contest meanwhile its just 33:1 leverage. They have to be using some sort of a trick

LOL. I am amazed by the ability of the human mind to game the system. I will be surprised if they allow this, as it doesn't work in real life.

How can they open multiple positions with big lot size?

how the winner has excluded trades for over -200 and held them for more than 2 minutes on usdjpy?
